VSCode: opening one remote file using rcode closes another

I recently started looking at VSCode as a possible substitute for Sublime 3 (I use Mac OS Sierra 10.13.1). I regularly work with code on a remote server, so I installed "rcode", following the steps in https://codepen.io/ginfuru/post/remote-editing-files-with-ssh.

Everything seemed to be working nicely, until I tried editing two files at the same time: 

rcode file1.py
rcode file2.py

Each time I opened a new file from the remote server, the first one closed automatically, leaving me with just file2.py open.

This is really frustrating, since I need to go back and forth between them, and I can't find any information on this issue. I have the same problem using "rmate".

Has anyone else run into something similar and is there a work-around? I never had a problem working with multiple files in Sublime.

It's not a perfect solution, but if you change "workbench.editor.enablePreview" to false in your settings, rmate (and probably rcode) will open files in new tabs.
